Full commentary
That's all from today. Tune in tomorrow for the twin matches.. DF signing off. ciao ciao.
"We didn't have too many runs, so i said it was up to us if we played like warriors or losers," Shikhar Dhawan says. "The boys really responded really well. The wicket turned, especially Mishra turned the ball and also Karn."
Bhuvneshwar is the man of the match. He says, "Since coming into T20s, I have improved a lot in the death overs. The seam position is my strength in the early overs."
"We bowled extremely well," Shane Watson says. "But more than anything, we misread the conditions a bit. I take the full responsibility for that as a captain. We are learning about these conditions, will get better. There weren't too many bad shots, just that the high-quality balls. They have world-class bowlers."
"We just need the batting to click, otherwise our bowling is working really well. It's a different role for me in Sunrisers," Irfan Pathan says. "I don't get the new ball but I try to contribute in the middle and death overs. "
Sanju Samson gets INR 1 lakh for hitting the only six of the match. He gets another lakh for keeping calm while running out Mishra.. What a life!
What a riposte by Sunrisers this! Superb bowling, brining back the memories of 2013 when they were regularly winning these matches. Bhuvneshwar, the legspinners, Steyn..all of them contributed. Much-needed win, it has put them back in the race. Royals weren't smart with their strokeplay.
Aravind: "Look back..How important was Dhawan's knock on this slow pitch..Those are the runs given sun risers on winning margin.."
Sai Kiran: "I am just loving Shane Watson as a captain. Last night, he asked a pay rise for Pravin Tambe and today he has taken the full responsibility for the lose ! Only few can do it, not all !!"
